Binary posts do not belong in unmoderated discussion groups.

I run a program that searchs for, and issues advisory cancels for,
large binaries in the akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, and sci
hierarchies.

I have issued 27 cancels for large binary files (average size 265,156
characters - total size 7,159,232 characters) posted to 25 different
unmoderated discussion groups in the rec, misc, comp, and sci
hierarchies (with cross-posts into utah, phx, nv, nm, houston, az,
austin, asu, alt, and vegas groups) as follows:
   6 comp.os.os2.advocacy
	comp.os.os2.apps
	comp.os.os2.beta
	comp.os.os2.comm
	comp.os.os2.multimedia
	comp.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip
	comp.os.os2.networking.www
	comp.os.os2.programmer.misc
	comp.os.os2.utilities
	comp.os.os2.misc
	alt.org.team-os2
   5 comp.sys.mac.misc
   3 rec.aviation.simulators
   2 rec.games.mecha
   2 rec.aviation.military
   2 austin.music
	houston.music
	alt.music.alternative
	rec.music.ambient
	rec.music.industrial
	rec.music.progressive
	rec.music.synth
   1 sci.chem.analytical
   1 rec.autos.4x4
   1 misc.test
   1 misc.fitness.aerobic
   1 comp.emulators.cbm
   1 comp.dcom.modems
   1 asu.for.sale
	asu.forsale
	asu.forsale.dept
	asu.forsale.misc
	asu.wanted
	phx.buy-sell-trade
	phx.general
	az.forsale
	nm.forsale
	nv.forsale
	utah.forsale
	vegas.for-sale
	comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc
	phx.general

The cancels in non-targeted groups are an unavoidable consequence of
the way cancels work.  A cross-posted article has only one Message-ID.
When it is canceled from one group it is canceled from all groups.

This pointer is being posted (in two parts :-) ) to each affected group
listed above, with the exception of test groups.  Follow-ups are
directed to news.admin.net-abuse.misc.

If you want to see exactly which file was deleted from a particular
group, or the criteria that I used to select it, read the full report
in news.admin.net-abuse.announce.  Look for AR248 in the subject.
The full report can also be found in alt.nocem.misc and alt.retromod.

If you must post a binary to Usenet, please post it *only* to an
appropriate binaries newsgroup such as alt.binaries.misc, and do *not*
crosspost it to non-binaries groups.  Then, if you like, post something
in the appropriate discussion group telling people where to find the
binary in the binaries group (a pointer to the binary).  This will
permit news administrators and users to decide for themselves whether
to receive the binary files.

Please direct public feedback to news.admin.net-abuse.misc and private
feedback to red@redpoll.mrfs.oh.us.  Thanks.

Best wishes,
Dick
